After winning fifty wins, the Bobcats' regular season goal was achieved.

Looking at the two Magic and Cavaliers who are almost 60 wins above their heads, the Bobcats' final goal is to stabilize the current ranking of the top three in the Eastern Conference.

On the 27th, he fought back to back with the Raptors, and the Bobcats, who had a large rotation, sent this game away.

Then, the Bobcats started from the home game against the Celtics, went away against the Pistons, played against the Raptors at home, and finally won a key game against the Knicks, winning a five-game winning streak.

It was also this five-game winning streak that the Bobcats directly locked in the top three in the East, and even relied on this five-game winning streak to approach the current second-place Cavaliers in the East.

It was also at this time that magic came to the door.

"Now our wins are 55 wins, the Cavaliers have 56 wins, and we have three regular season opponents left, the Magic, Bulls and Nets, while the Cavaliers have three regular season opponents left, the Pacers, Magic and Hawks."

"Considering that we have killed the Cavaliers four times in the season and have already obtained the advantage of direct fights, we only need to draw the Cavaliers in terms of record to get second in the Eastern Conference."

This season, the league's ranking rules are not saying that the division champion must be ranked before non-district champions, so even if the Bobcats and Magic are in the Southeast, they will not be squeezed into fourth place by the Central and Atlantic champions.

Therefore, if the Bobcats want to surpass the Knights, they only need to achieve a record and draw against the Knights.

If you want to draw the Cavaliers in your record, the Bobcats must first win these three games at the end of the season.

In the three games at the end of the season, the opponents from strong to weak, and gradually decreased.

Rivers knew that as long as he won the Magic, the remaining two games were not worth worrying.

The Bobcats have won all three games, and the Cavaliers have to lose another game. The Cavaliers' remaining three opponents are really likely to lose one game.

The walker should not be able to threaten the knights, but magic and the eagle are not so easy to match.

"The Cavaliers are still very likely to lose one game, so we must win these three games at the end of the season!"

In this way, the Bobcats first skipped the fact that the Magic was their biggest opponent in the East, and only from the perspective of the playoff ranking, they gave the dead order to win the game.

Unlike the Bobcats, they have won 59 wins and have basically locked in the magic of the top throne in the East, and they don’t take the Bobcats into consideration.

"Yes, this game is very important. As long as we win this victory, we can completely lock in the top throne of the Eastern Conference, but I don't think the Bobcats can threaten us. This season, we have killed the Bobcats three times, and we are only one victory away from killing them all."

"But we have no interest in winning the game. Our goal is already aiming at the playoffs. We won't waste too much energy in the regular season. All we have to do is to ensure the ranking of the top spot in the East."

Before the game, Stan Van Gundy was a little arrogant, but there was a saying that he was right. The magic that had already killed the Bobcats three times did not pay that much attention to this game.

Bobcats are here, before the game press conference, Rivers is still the focus.

First, the reporter asked, he had fought with his former boss again, and whether he wanted to prove the same thing in this game.

Rivers was not that nt yet, so he naturally waved his hand: "It has been too long since I coached magic. When I was dismissed from magic, Dwight had not joined the magic..."

The implication is that he does not need to prove this game of Magic.

However, next, the reporter mentioned Stan Van Gundy's a bit arrogant speech before the game, and Rivers was not so polite.

"Yes, they have indeed killed the Bobcats three times, but that is not the Bobcats I coached."

The implication is that the Bobcats coached by Rivers will not be killed by Magic at least, but everyone knows that what Rivers really wants to express is the Bobcats coached by him, which will not only not be killed by Magic at three, but can even counter-kill Magic.

"So, Doug, will you defeat magic and break the magic's killing you?"

"certainly!"

...

Rivers has already paid much attention to this game.

He said that he didn't need to prove anything in front of the Magic's former team, and even at the pre-match press conference, he expressed the same idea as Stan Van Gundy, that is, the Bobcats need to focus on the playoffs.

But in this game, Rivers still had all the trump cards.

"The Magic's defensive system is built on top of Warcraft. They are strong in the penalty area and the defense intensity of the outside is not high. Therefore, we need to do as many mid-range shots as possible from the outside."

Magic's defense is very strong, but as Rivers said, Magic's defense depends on sparks alone.

If the bobcats can float and shoot, the magic defense will not be a concern.

"As for the offense, their offensive points are very scattered..."

Tkoglu's departure to Toronto was still a big impact. This season's magic tricks were almost all kinds of chaos in the offensive end.

In the point guard position, they have two point guards with double-point shooting, Jamal Nelson and Brooks Jr.

At the shooting guard position, they also have Vince Carter, and substitute JJ Redick.

In the small forward position, they can only reuse Michael Pitrus, but the power forward, Lewis, Brandon Bass and Ryan Anderson's trio are also very strong in offense.

Judging from the lineup configuration, almost everyone in this magic is an offensive player, and the defense is indeed a little lacking.

Before the game, Rivers analyzed the magic in a general way, and then adjusted and arranged in a targeted manner, which was the so-called trump card.

"Vincecart is the only core point on the Magic's outside line, so he will give it to you, Sheldon..."

Of course, Li Ke nodded, as an old Carter, he still had no pressure.

"For the overall defense, we need to change to joint defense!"

After Rivers took office, the biggest change in the Bobcats was offense and defense, which was basically untouched.

For a long time, the Bobcats' defense is to target people, supplemented by the mid-range sweep of the front line. It has no value but is very effective.

Rivers naturally had no reason to change.

But in this game, Rivers believes that joint defense is more suitable for magic attacks than man-to-man.

...

Time Warner Center, Bobcats and Magic have all appeared to warm up.

While shooting the basket, Li Ke kept turning his head to aim for the magic of the other half.

At this moment, what he was thinking was that the Bobcats, led by him, were not really suffering from the regular season matches.

Even the Lakers, the record of the match last season was 1-1, and the two teams each won one.

Although the Lakers doubled the Bobcats this season, in two games, one of the Bobcats and the Lakers played to the last moment, and the other was lost only after a big round break.

And the Heat, although the Bobcats suffered the first two matches of the season, the Bobcats played back in the last two matches, and four matches, the score of 2-2 was considered a draw.

If you want magic, you can kill Bobcats in all kinds of ways, and there is only one in the entire league.

To be honest, Li Ke was a little dissatisfied.

Because he knew what kind of cowardly Sparks would be like in the future, he knew that even if this magic was reached the finals, he would be beaten by the Lakers.

Li Ke would definitely not want to be killed by such a magic trick and spark.

"Boat back, start with this game!"

After the warm-up, the starting lineup of the two teams made their debut.

Here is the Bobcats, point guard Curry, shooting guard Li Ke, small forward Hua Lao Er, power forward Kenyon Martin, center Jordan Jr.

On the Magic, point guard Xiao Black Bean, shooting guard Lao Carter, small forward Pitrus, power forward Lewis, center Spark.

Jordan was preparing to compete with Spark's jump ball. On the other side, Li Ke glanced at Little Black Bean, swept the Magic bench lineup again, and saw Jamal Nelson.

"Stephen, your stage is very big in this game!"

After taking a picture of Curry, Li Ke didn't explain much and went straight back to his position.

Why is Curry's stage in this game very big?

Whether it is Xiao Hei Bean or Nielsen, the Magic's two point guards, the defense is so bad.

Facing these two opponents, if Curry can't beat the attack the Bobcats want, then just click 15bdsm!

drop!

The referee whistle sounded and the basketball flew to the ceiling of Time Warner Center.

Jordan Jr. responded faster and drove the basketball, so the Bobcats attacked first.

Speaking of which, since Jordan entered the Bobcats in the draft, his fight with Sparks has mostly lost.

Li Ke even remembered the Bobcats' first-generation starting center, Emecca Okafor, the man in the same class as Sparks.

Jordan Jr. is a bit like Okafor. He usually performs well and is suppressed by various things when encountering sparks.

However, it is hard to say what the end of this game ended. After all, Jordan Jr. met the man who later activated him, Doug Rivers!

On the court, Curry took the ball through half.

Li Ke stood on the right side of the arc for a while, then suddenly rushed in, and Old Carter followed his broken legs.

But then, he relied on a cover from Kenyon Martin near the free throw line and returned.

The sudden turnaround was too late, but the magic defense was changed very quickly.

It can be said that in Stan Van Gundy's defensive system, what makes up for the lack of personal ability of outside players in defense is to quickly switch defense.

Almost the moment Li Ke turned back, Pitrus made up for it.

At this moment, Li Ke received a pass from Curry. He glanced at the empty second in the sixth direction, but he did not choose to pass the ball.

Hua Lao Er's three-pointer was not that good, which is why Li Ke did not pass the ball. In this game, Rivers determined the tactical idea to be mid-range shots, so Li Ke naturally had to implement Rivers' tactical idea.

Outside the three-point line, he didn't hesitate much, and he scored a three-pointer against Pitrus!
